the lovely lemon tree

I have long been absent from the blogging world and I have ever so much to catch up on reading. But my days have not been entirely fruitless (pun intended). There are some new items in my Etsy shop, most notably this sweet little collection of lemony jewelry.The above bracelet is three strands of sunny cuteness. The gold & silver closure is salvaged from a vintage necklace I found. And all the pearls used are also recycled from old jewelry. All other yellow and white beads are made of glass.These earrings remind me of a tangy lollipop! So fun, they'd be sure to brighten up any outfit.

And this single strand bracelet has the perfect combination of delicate recycled pearls and fun fruity swirls. All items are available for sale now in my shop! www.daisykisses.etsy.com . Please have a look, and leave me some feedback!

What's the deal with Frugal Daisy?

In an attempt to find fulfillment in daily life, I took some time off work to see what would really make me happy. It turns out that simple things, like walking with my adorable dog Daisy, trying a new recipe, getting creative with my passion for jewelry making, and forging stronger bonds with friends and family were the answers.

Back to work at the restaurant, I truly value my time off now. Days off are spent with Daisy, partaking and documenting her amazing zeal for life. Dogs truly are man's best friend. My spare time is also devoted to creating new jewelry for my etsy shop Daisy*Kisses, a wonderful creative outlet for me, and a way to reach others through something I love.

This lifestyle has certainly made me embrace the idea of frugality and this blog is a way for me to document the wonderful things in my life, that I come by on relatively 'cheap' terms.
